Gold Gym Member Appreciation Health Fair


Health and Fitness Alexandria Virginia

Susanne Seidman
Style Editor

Gold’s gym skipped a red carpet but did roll out the welcome mat to members seeking an indoor workout during Saturday’s on again off again soggy weather.

The staff of trainers and managing partner Bob Shepherd were on hand at Gold’s Gym Richmond Highway location to meet and greet and complete heath assessments as part of a member appreciation health fair.

Gold’s brought in various vendors to offer tips, deals, and products to help Alexandria’s heath conscious look and feel their best this fall.

After a quick body fat assessment, guests sampled delicious smoothies and healthy fare from neighbor Cosmopolitan Grill or splurged on slices of Domino’s Pizza and spent a few extra minutes on the elliptical machines to burn it off. XS Energy Drink tasted out zero carb, zero sugar drinks.  Diet To Go brought entrees from their meal service available for pick up at Gold’s for members to test.

Karen Jusse, Medical Aesthetician, of About Face Asthetic Center on Columbus Street in Old Town explained non-surgical options to “curve your hangover.” About Face is also offering a special ladies day demonstration of Botox and Velashape cellulite and body contouring in Alexandria on October 25th from 1:30-3:30. Could this be part of the answer to the frustrating “muffin top” problem?

Minis enjoyed a moon bounce right inside the Kid’s Gym childcare area. Parents could purchase Usborne books as a special treat for cooperative little ones. 

Sometimes there is a reward for crawling out of bed on the weekend and motivating to hit the gym even in the rain.
